Cross has more than 26 years of experience in the mining and construction industry. He will be based at the Tadano office in Maddington, Perth, Australia.

Roger Cross said, “This is the ideal time to make the change to Tadano. Market conditions have changed markedly through 2013 and we now face challenging times, but not without opportunities. I know that Tadano is a great brand. It is a wonderful product and there is an excellent customer base for us to support and build upon.

Peter Shelton, Tadano Oceania general manager, said, “Roger is a strong addition to our Tadano team. He brings unparalleled knowledge and experience that will be of significant benefit to our customers.”

Roger Cross replaces Peter Lawgall who has left Tadano to pursue other career interests, a company spokesperson added.
